The Census Bureau estimates that nearly 2.5 million Americans had to leave their homes because of disasters in 2023, whether for a short period or much longer - but a closer look at demographics reveals much more about disaster risk in America and who is vulnerable.

Had a fun time barhopping with some friends yesterday, a belated celebration of my wife’s birthday. It’s also the first (and much needed) “out with friends” time I’ve gotten since my dad died.

Our first stop was The Perch, a fun #brewery that doubles as an exotic bird rescue. Our second stop, The Sleepy Whale, is one of our favorite taprooms. We rounded out the day with stops at QuartHaus and Pedal Haus Brewing. #beersofmastodon #chandler #arizona

“If the facts as you just stated are true, then apparently some people are above the law.”

Last week: The Texas Observer and Arizona Center for Investigative Reporting have found that armed vigilantes have forged relationships with local and federal law enforcement—ties that appear to elevate risks of violence in already volatile #border regions. https://www.texasobserver.org/border-vigilantes-law-enforcement-texas-arizona/

My non-blindness physical disabilities are worsening and I have realized after an antenna incident over the weekend that I can no longer maintain my #AmateurRadio station all by myself. If anyone out here is a #HamRadio op in the West Valley of the #Phoenix area in #Arizona I'd really appreciate a DM if you're interested in helping. I'd really like to keep my station on the air. Thanks and 73.

While many would think “co-stewardship” and “co-management” would be simple terms to define, there are numerous federal documents that have used the terms interchangeably, and Indigenous nations now are seeking a stronger tribal presence and decision-making power.
